about

The Maypole is a tall wooden pole used as part of various European folk festivals, around which a maypole dance is often performed on the first day of the month of May, known as, May Day. This lively "round dance" is dedicated to the beginning of the spring season and transition to summer.

lyrics

Maypole, by The Midnight

And Dancing In The Shadow
When The Season Is Close To Dark
And Dancing In The Light
When The Sun Has Just Began
The Time Has Come To Go
To The Peasant Merry Fair
The Fools And The King
Singing In The Wind

And Dancing In The Moonlight
Round And Round Close To Dark
And Laughing In The Sun
When The May Has Just Begun
The Time Has Come And Go
For The Pleasant Merry Fair
The Minstrels And The Queen
Lay Down In The Green

Chorus:
Maypole Maypole, Maypole, La -La -La , La -La ,La -La
Maypole, Maypole, Maypole, La -La -La , La–La

And Dancing In The Darkness
Followin’ The Rays Of Light
And Shining In The Night
When The Moon Has Just Begun
The Time Has Come To Go
To The Peasant Merry Fair
The Night Has Comin’ Down
In The Fairy Town

Chorus:
Maypole Maypole Maypole, Maypole, La -La -La , La -La ,La -La
Maypole, Maypole, Maypole, La -La -La , La–La

And Dancing In The Shadow
When The Season Is Close To Dark
And Dancing In The Light
When The Sun Has Just Began
The Time Has Come To Go
To The Peasant Merry Fair
The Fools And The King
Singing In The Wind

Chorus:
Maypole Maypole Maypole, Maypole, La -La -La , La -La ,La -La
Maypole, Maypole, Maypole, La -La -La , La–La

about

The Midnight Milan, Italy

The Midnight were formed in 2003, a Tuscany-based Folk-Medieval-Fantasy band of minstrels.The choice to be called "Midnight" is not accidental: "midnight" is a metaphor not only of a past time, but also a "mysterious elsewhere" the magic hour of the night for excellence, where fairies and elves dance in the woods, the wizards prepare their spells and the witches gather under a large walnut tree. ... more
